What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
100% Solar PV output with high capacity well. Built sustainable, green & local with RASTRA, Aspen, Red and Yellow Birch, Limestone and Columbo Gold Granite. The Lucky House's unique S shape design is exceptionally durable. A state-of-the-art recycled polystyrene product, RASTRA insulated blocks are dry-stacked, reinforced with steel rebar and filled with concrete to create an exterior up to 700% stronger than wood framing, resistant to moisture and pests, composed of 85% recyclable materials. RASTRA's resistance perfectly protected the newly framed Lucky House from the '03 Overland Fire, going around the structure, completely unscathed. With its designation of an equally auspicious street address, there is no question that this house be deemed The Lucky House. Radiant heated floors, a graceful Temp Cast Masonry wood burning heater & oven center stage, and a freestanding master bedroom stove keep Lucky cozy, while its endless windows & breezes provide the perfect temperature year round.Property Description
